About the book

The Icelandic Sagas presents some of the great prose narratives of medieval Iceland, stories rooted in the settlement and early history of the island. These sagas recount family feuds, voyages, legal disputes, revenge and the difficult demands of honour. Written in a restrained and powerful style, they provide a remarkable portrait of Norse society and remain among the masterpieces of medieval European literature.
